Why does everyone have to do the SAME mods? How about searching around to find the ones you like? Look at the past 6 months of messages here and come up with your own ideas? If I wanted the SAME CAR as everyone else. . .I would have bought a Mustang...

Select a simple theme for subtle differences. I went with red and polished/chrome. Things like polished underhood bolts and nuts, polished a/c condenser & fittings , etc. Do what you like, it's your car, not somebody elses. Have fun!!

My next ride is going to be a black SS, and I'm going to go with a simple ground effects kit (nothing guady) and old-school red ralley stripes with either torque-thrusts or some of the newer Cragars. If I just described someones car I'm sorry not trying to rip anyone off and you have a bad-*** looking car

yea i think tint is a must do. i couldnt stand not having my windows tinted when i got my t/a. but i somehow forgot to get my brow tinted so i have to go back. but other than that dude just look at alot of online sites and see what u like. there are a couple i could name right now but not sure about the whole thing about puttin them up here.

here's what I have done to my black SS:
lowered with DMS springs
TT2's
blacked out headlights from procarparts
clear front corners from procarparts (no issues with them)
removed front license plate (actually got a new stock grille, they look OK with no tag)
SLP Loudmouth w/ slash cut tips
tint
painted front and rear rotor hubs and caliper brackets black. cleaned calipers using a mild wire brush gives a nice clean, low maintenance, look.
the only thing I want to add is front and rear fill-ins (probably charcoal because I think red doesn't look as classy and polished aren't subtle enough for me). I have considered switching to the silver outline SS emblems, but I might leave them alone (red).
